Half-truth (half-truth or mixed truth) — is a type of information manipulation when only part of the true information is provided, choosing it in such a way as to create a distorted or selective image of the situation. Half-truths can include concealment of facts, selective data selection, or overgeneralization.
Half-truths can be used to influence the opinion of the audience, create a certain impression or justify specific points of view. Since the existing facts are partially true, this type of manipulation can be particularly effective because it can seem more objective and reliable.
It is important to be attentive and able to think critically, distinguish a complete picture of the situation and look for additional sources of information to gain a complete understanding of the events.
